"The necessity for satisfac- tory and economical distribution as a means of passing production econ- omies on to the consumer is reinfor- ced by the realization that in many instances effective distribution is the deciding factor in the new group competition between industries, com- modities and distributors, "The tendency of large manufac- Juress Rn ish branch, fagiori n outlying te strong smphasizeq in Whe Uniteq States to be ignored any longer in Canada. The average distance from the leading manufacturing centres of Eastern Canada to the heart of the Prairie market is roughly 1,700 miles, while from Winnipeg where cheap power and many other manufacturing ad- vantages are available, the distance to the heart of the Prairie market is only 400 miles, For many lines of commodities upon which freight is paid on this long haul over partly un» settled territory, the raw materials are readily available in the West, On other commodities raw materials could be brought in at much lower rates than now apply on the finished products, "No eastern manufacturer who de. sires to cultivate the rich Western market under present day conditions can afford to ignore the advantages of closer contact with the people of the West, The Westerner wants more balanced developments and he is tak- ing the most effective means of se- curing it--the development of manu- facturing, He knows that the estab lishing of industriés in the urban centres will bring the desired balance and will provide new markets for his farm products and a job, close to home, for those of his children whe cannot be held on the farm, "So, the west, today, is reaching out, not to the United States or other countries but to the great industries of the East whose prosperity is bound up with the West and whose know- ledge of the country is thorough ;and is endeavoring to ind them to 'stake their claim' in the Western field and become more intimately ase sociated with the country's develops ment, The Westerner realizes that the West has only slightly more than 2,000,000 people but he wants the Eastern manufacturer to know that they are2 ,000,000 staunch supporters of Canadian products who would pre- fer to buy goods produced in the est, "Manitoba, which has become the centre of the greatest manufacturing development in the West during the past four years, is undoubtedly on the threshold of an industrial career which promises to become most ex- tensive and permanent, Blessed with abundant and accessible natural re. sources which will form the basis for industrial undertakings of a substan- tial character, it stands out pre-em- inently as a field for exploitation and will play an important role in the fu- ture industrial progress of Canada, "Although usually referred to as a Prairie province, no less than 75 per cent, of Manitoba's area is in the great pre-Cambrian shield with rich potential resources of minerals, tim- ber and waterpowers, Industrial Production "Unless extroardinary developments transpire in Manitoba's primary in- dustry of agriculture, industrial pro- duction during this year is likely to exceed the agrilcultural output for the first time in the history of the province, Official figures for last See the--- Demonstration 4 Of -- SNYDER'S Sani-Bilt Products -- AY Luke Furniture COMPANY 63 King Street East Phones 78.79 All This Week! year will not be available for some months, but a provisional estimate made by the Industrial Development oard of Manitoba gives the gross manufacturing output at $159,252,000. Sixty-two new industries were estab lished in Greater Winnipeg last year and the output of the existing factors ies was increased by 21 per cent: Thirty-seven factories expanded their plants during the vear; 29 others added new lines and 31 are planning plant extensions early in 1929, "Since 1924, 8400 persons have been added to the payroll of the manufacturing industrics of Mani- toba; nearly $8,000,000 increase "has been shown in the payroll and the gross production has increased 8$33,- 000,000, The development of manu- macturing in Manitoba is being fost- ered by the Industrial Development Board of Manitoba, a semi-official body sponsored by the Manitoba Go- vernment and the city of Winnipeg, The Board is endeavoring to develop industries suitable to the needs and conformable to the character of the West. The progress in this province is a fair indication of the manner in which the Western territory is being industrialized, For instance, from the two cities of Toronto and Montreal alone, plans are now maturing which will involve the expenditure of $11,» 000,000 in branch plants to be estab- lished in Manitoba during the next two years. These will include nearly four million dollars investment in chemical and food products; close to three million in wearing apparel, two million in non-metallic mineral pro- ducts, containers, automotive equips ment and building materials; a mil- lion in steel products and a million in mining supplies and equipment," Scott & Bowne, Toronto, Ont. 2-2. | RAO ll AOC Cl Cl OSHAWA LAUNDRY & DRY CLEANING CO, 456 Centre Street--Phone 2520 aay 2
